Then we tried to do a few laying down. I let it dried a bit before closing the blinds and spraypainting again. I started the blinds and then melissa painted 9 yes 9 of them for me. Test out your ideas on a scrap piece of wood or cardboard.

Use light coats of spray paint to cover the entire slat. The spray paint can should say how long that will take but it s usually a couple hours. We did a few hanging up because we thought it would be so much easier. Spray each slat with the shellac spray primer until the slat is coated evenly.

Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully remove the pegs and set them aside. The shellac spray primer will bind to bare wood or wood finished with both oil and water based coatings. We tried cream spray paint to see if that would go quicker but came back to this chalktype paint process because we liked it the best. I used two trestles and some leftover wood.

You don t want paint on the strings or to spend hours trying to paint around them so the real trick in painting blinds is to take the slats off the strings. One advantage of this approach.
